Legends
of Brands Hatch Superprix – 1/2 July Wow, wow, wow! Hot, hot, hot! The British Summer continues and for the second time this season the Historic Road Sports race was the most exciting race of the weekend with a 29-car grid. There were not one, not two, but three amazing battles through the field. The most outstanding of these was the battle for P13 down to P20; no less than 8 cars battled for these places with all eight being separated by only 10.078 seconds!! An amazingly close finish between Marc Gordon in his Lotus Elite and Richard Owen in his Triumph TR2, who were separated by only 0.043 seconds both fighting for P19 would normally be the closest finish of the whole HSCC weekend. However, the HRS team put on an even closer finish between Nik Spencer, MGB and Simon Bowrey in is gorgeous 1965 SWB Porsche 911. They were fighting for P17 and Simon pipped Nik by 0.025 seconds. The train of these cars was an amazing sight and the gossip of the paddock, well done team HRS. For those who want to see what 0.025 seconds looks like…

| CADWELL
PARK – 17TH/18TH JUNE Well, Cadwell certainly lived up to its reputation this weekend. The weather was outstanding, the circuit is outstanding and the whole environment so good that it makes it a great place to spend a weekend. Somewhat disappointing therefore that we only had 19 cars line up for Qualifying, of which 4 were ‘Invitation Class’. However, it was great to welcome back Jonathan Stringer in his Lotus 7 following a major re-build, and our very own sponsor, Larry Kennedy, in his new Lotus Elan S1 (shared with Paul Tooms) after 3 years out of racing due to ankle injury. Andy Shepherd also came out to play in his Lotus 7 and James Owen came out in his TR5 for the first time this year. Ian Ross was also a welcome sight back on the grid following his unfortunate engine failure at Silverstone. Another welcome face was Jim Grant in his lovely white Elan, and the Sunbeams of Mike Foley and Stephen Chapman who join us as invitees for a couple of the ‘northern meetings’. Qualifying on Saturday saw 6 out of the first seven grid positions taken by Lotus cars, 4 Elan’s and 2 ‘sevens’. Peter Shaw was outstanding in his Elan S1 being 2.7 seconds faster than Andy Shepherd in the Seven to take pole, with the Elans of Larry Kennedy, Barry Ashdown and Robert Rowe in hot pursuit, closely challenged by Jonathan Stringer in his Seven. Johan Denekamp took Class B honours in the TVR Tuscan, Christopher Reece took class D and Dick Coffey (just behind the Lotus’s) took Class E. (No class A this weekend, where were all you Morgans??) |

Silverstone International meeting A strong and healthy grid of 29 cars took part in this great event. With qualifying and race on the same day and a mixed weather forecast, tyre strategy could be a key choice. Qualifying went to form with John Davison taking pole over Will Plant in his Morgan and the third slot going to Peter Shaw in his Elan. Class poles were taken by Costas Michael, MGB for class D, Dick Coffey took class E in the Turner, Johan Denekamp class B honours in his TVR and class F went to Richard Owen in his Triumph TR2. The weather was kind to us with a mainly dry race, barring the last few laps, where the drizzle started to change the track conditions towards the end. Thankfully the heavy rain abated and the race was kept fairly dry. The heaven’s opening up whilst we were in Parc Ferme; apologies to those who got wet waiting for the weigh bridge. The lead class positions finished as per qualifying apart from Paul Brown in his MGB who jumped ahead of the Alpine of Costas Michael. |

Welcome to the New Season of the HRS News! Welcome to the new
season HRS newsletter. Donington was the first HRS race that I have
missed for 4 years! An 80th birthday party for my Mother-in-law in Ireland
being the perfect excuse, plus the lure of real Guinness!! So I owe
a great gratitude to the 2016 HRS Champion, Dick Coffey for standing
in and compiling this newsletter. |
